CURTAIN HANGER Application filed October 17, 1931.

-. efliciently perform the functions for which it is intended.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, all of which will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings,

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a pair of my improved hangers operatively connected to a curtain and illustrating by dot and dash lines the position of a rod and adjusting cord for the curtain;

Figure 2 is a view in elevation of my improved curtain hanger;

Figure 3 is a view in section on the line 33 of Figure 2;

Figure 4 is a View similar to Figure 3 il lustrating a modification; and

Figure 5 is an edge view of the hanger shown in Figure 4, the view looking to the right of said figure.

My improved hanger comprises two main parts, namely, a supporting member A and a securing member B fixedly connected. The securing member B constitutes a safety pin and is composed of a single length of metal bent upon itself and forming a back bar 1 and a front pin 2, the upper end of the back bar bent over and shaped to provide a keeper 3 for the pointed end of the pin.

The supporting member A, illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the drawings, constitutes a loop composed of a single length of wire or metal, the loop being elongated vertically or longitudinally of the pin, and the extremities of the wire forming the loop spaced apart and bent around the flattened hack bar 1, as is clearly illustrated at 4 in Figure 3 of the drawings.

Serial No. 569,512:

This particular form of bend, which includes a pair of parallel sections 5-5 at opposite sides of and flat against the flat back bar 1, prevents any possibility of pivotal or turning movement of the hanger and the pin relative to each other, and a firm, secure coupling is had between the supporting member A and the securing member B.

As above stated, the supporting member constitutes a vertical elongated loop, the upper portion of the loop adapted to receive a supporting rod 6, and the lower portion of the loop an adjusting cord 7 to move the curtain 8 longitudinally of the rod.

In the modification illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 of the drawings, I employ the same construction of securing member B as above described, but instead of the loop A as a supporting member I form this supporting member of general hook shape, and give the supporting member of the modified form the reference character C. One end of this hookedshaped securing member C is bent around the flat back rod 1 of the safety pin constituting the securing member B, and the other end of the hook is curved generally inwardly and then outwardly in a general compound curvature so as to permit the loop to be positioned over the rod and detached therefrom without the necessity of moving the supporting member to the end of the rod.

By reason of the fact that the supporting member and the securing member in both forms of my invention are secured against the possibility of pivotal movement of one relative to the other, the positioning of the curtain on the curtain rod is made easy for in operation the pins or securing members are secured to the curtain and then the supporting members are positioned on the rod. With the supporting members having rigid relation to the securing members it is readily understood how they are held in alignment with each other, and by gripping the curtain can be positioned on the rod; whereas, if there was pivotal movement, one part relative to the other, they would lie at different angles and it would be necessary to grasp each supporting member separately when positioning on the rod. Thus, the fixedconnection between the securing member and the supporting member ensures an easy and efllcient manner of connecting the curtain to the rod.

In describing my invention in connection with a curtain it is to be distinctly understood that this term is used to cover any type of drapery or curtain with which such a device may be used.

While I have described What I believe to be the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be distinctly understood that various slight changes may be made with regard to the form and arrangement of parts Without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall Within the spirit and scope of the claims.

\Vhat I claim is:

1. A curtain hanger comprising a support ing member and a securing member, the securing member having a fiat bar and the supporting member composed of a length of metal bent around and clamped to the flat bar of the securing member.

2. A curtain hanger comprising a supporting member and a securing member, the securing member constituting a safety pin having a flat back bar, the supporting member comprising a single length of metal of general Ioop formation, the extremities of the metal forming the loop bent around the flat back bar of the securing member.

3. A curtain hanger comprising a supporting member and a securing member, the securing member constituting a safety pin having a fiat back bar, the supporting member comprising a single length of metal of general loop formation, the extremities of the metal forming the loop bent around the flat back bar of the securing member, the extremities of the supporting member spaced apart and having substantially parallel portions engaging opposite faces of the back bar of the securing member.
